Prabhas' upcoming futuristic mythological sci-fi film, "Kalki 2898 AD," has set a roaring pace at the North American box office even before its global release on June 27. With less than 24 hours remaining until its premiere, the film has sparked immense anticipation among fans, particularly in the USA and Canada.
The North American market has emerged as a key stronghold for Indian cinema, buoyed by previous successes like the "Baahubali" series, "KGF" franchise, and recent hits such as "Jawan" and "Animal."
"Kalki 2898 AD," scheduled for premiere shows on June 26 ahead of its official release, has already sold over 100,000 tickets, grossing an impressive US $3.05 million. From the USA alone, the film has raked in US $2.77 million, selling over 92,000 tickets, while additional earnings came from Canada.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the spectacle that promises stellar performances from Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, and Deepika Padukone. The film's strong start in ticket sales positions it to potentially surpass the record set by "RRR," which holds the highest premiere day collection in the USA with over US $3 million. It remains to be seen if "Kalki 2898 AD" can achieve this milestone with additional walk-ins on its premiere day.
In addition to its star-studded cast, the film features guest appearances by Dulquer Salmaan, Mrunal Thakur, Malavika Mohanan, Ram Gopal Varma, and others, adding further excitement among moviegoers.
